I don't know about now but it the past "Specialized" computers were rebranded Cat-Eyes.

Also to make a Cat-Eye cyclometer rain proof, a dab of silicone grease on the mount and head contacts will do it. I have a Cat-Eye Mity 3 that has been on my "rain bike" for years and gets wet routinely. The silicone grease treatment means it never misses a beat. The Cat-Eye's heads and battery compartments are very well sealed so the Saran Wrap treatment isn't needed. I have had other brand cyclometers in the past that were not weatherproof and I did have to gift wrap them to assure survival.
